One of my good friends pointed this out…Here’s an excerpt from the Nobel Peace Prize Winner’s interview shortly before she won the prize. Democrats far and wide need to read this carefully. @CAgovernor @Ilhan @RashidaTlaib @SpeakerPelosi @RepJeffries @BernieSanders @KamalaHarris @GovTimWalz @POTUS @DonaldJTrumpJr @SecScottBessent

Nobel Laureate Maria Corina Machado:

“Twenty-six years ago, Venezuelan youth fell in love with a socialist in Hugo Chávez. When people pointed to Cuba as a warning, they said, “Venezuela is not Cuba. And Cuba is not real socialism.” But here we are—worse than Cuba.

Socialism always follows the same pattern. It elevates the state above the citizen, strips away your autonomy, your conscience, your dignity, your ability to choose. And it does so with a seductive lie. It whispers of equality, but the only equality it delivers is at the bottom—where everyone is dragged down together. That has been the case in every nation, on every continent, in every culture where it has been tried. The result is always the same: a gigantic state that crushes the people beneath it, and once it takes hold, is terribly hard to remove.

Only free societies—where the individual comes first—can nurture both liberty and the responsibility that sustains it. Because freedom without responsibility decays, and responsibility without freedom is tyranny. But when merit becomes the path to rise, when effort and creativity are rewarded, then every citizen is called to succeed—the whole nation rises together.

That is what we want for Venezuela. And it is why I say to the American people: Do not be seduced. Socialism is the sexiest path to losing your freedom. Guard your freedom jealously. Defend it fiercely. Because freedom is not just an American promise—it is the hope of the world.”

“Why doesn’t that old, rich guy just retire already? He must not have a purpose in life outside of money!”

Like a lot of people, I used to think that way. But it’s wrong.

Fundamentally, there are two things humans do: We produce and we consume. That’s it.

Most of us, throughout our lives, produce and consume roughly in parity with each other. We make money, and, over time—even if invest some of it and don’t spend it immediately after earning it—we expend it all. The work we do—the economic value we create—is offset by the house in which we live, the food we eat, the medical costs of keeping us alive, the vacations we take, and all the myriad other things we consume each day and over the course of the years.

Some of us consume more than we produce. This requires some type of external subsidy, be it a trust fund, charitable support, or government benefits.

A small number of us produce more than we consume. And an even smaller number produce vastly more than they could ever hope of consuming.

These people have many different roles and titles. If you respect these people and appreciate their contributions to our society—which, by the way, I hope you do, because these are the people make it possible for you to eat food you didn’t have to grow yourself, live in a house you didn’t have to build yourself, and utilize countless technological innovations you didn’t have to invent yourself—you probably call them builders, creators, or inventors; founders, entrepreneurs, business leaders; titans of industry, pillars of community.

If you don’t like them, you probably have other terms—plutocrats, bourgeoisie, kulaks, parasites, vultures, hoarders of wealth.

Going back to the old, rich person at the start of this, that guy—whether you respect him or not—attained his position in society by virtue of having been a net producer. He’s produced more than he’s consumed; his outputs total more than the sum of his inputs. Put simply, he’s planted and harvested more than he’s eaten.

People who produce like that over the course of their lives don’t do so because they want to one day start consuming more. Men and women who spend each day as a net producer don’t just switch it off one day to become a net consumer. Vacations, rounds of golf, restaurant outings, and movie showings simply aren’t satisfying to someone whose mind—not to mention whose heart, whose animating spirit—is wired for producing.

It simply doesn’t work that way.

You might not understand it; you might not understand these people. And that’s fine—for much of my life, I didn’t either.

But don’t question what drives them just because it’s not what drives you. Because these are the men and women who built our society, explored new worlds, invented the wondrous technologies we use every day, and created the works of art and literature we get to enjoy.

And they’re the ones who will keep building, keep creating, and keep making it possible for future generations to enjoy things even greater.

One of life’s strangest contradictions:

The busiest people always find time, while the lazy are always busy.

It’s an absolute truth that if you want to get something done, ask a busy person.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

When we are tired, it is often because we are bored. When no real challenge faces us, a mental and physical lethargy sets in. “Sometimes death only comes from a lack of energy,” Napoleon once said, and lack of energy comes from a lack of challenges, comes when we have taken on less than we are capable of.

I used to USE my audience to make me feel...
better,
important,
happy
cool,
worthy.

I’m learning to share my gifts as an artist. To make my audience feel...
better,
important,
happy
cool,
worthy.

If you chase importance, you’ll never be of service. If choose to be of service, you’ll always be important.

KEEP GOING
